The new assistance package follows the Easter long weekend when amaysim saw a huge spike in data usage, a 36% increase from the prior week, as more customers turn to their devices for entertainment during lock down. Additionally, during March amaysim saw a 30% increase in total data usage compared to February, as Australians transitioned into working and learning from home.

- $10 plan customers receive 10GB of additional data
- $20 plan customers receive 20GB of additional data
- $30 plan customers receive 30GB of additional data
- $40 and above plans receive unlimited data
The additional data will be automatically applied on the first day of each month, until June 30. There is no eligibility criteria.
New customers who sign up to Amaysim’s $10 or $30 plans will pay just half the price for the first renewal, while also benefiting from unlimited standard national talk and text.
- $10 plan with 2GB – $5 for the first renewal
- $30 plan with 35GB – $10 for the first renewal
Amaysim Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Peter O’Connell said, “We’ve reviewed the data usage over the past two months, and we can see that data is what our customers value the most during this challenging time. With that in mind we’re giving all our customers additional data, across all of our plans, to ensure everyone is able to stay connected without having to worry about data limits during this period.”
“We’re always looking at ways to pack more value into our plans, whether that’s for our existing happy customers, or those looking for a better deal.”
